At a time when plastic is becoming a luxury product and soon only reserved for the elite, for this and other reasons it is time to consider the digital format as an alternative. That said, we will soon be back in the physical world, the one where we touch the product before buying.

The young scientist takes us here in his first "Méharées". These long raids on camelback, interested in nature, cliffs, sand, scorpions and snakes. Vegetation both rare and precious, his music has taken, as if by mimicry, the characteristics of the desert: dry and hostile. Philippe Toussaint knew how to restore the magic of its horizons, which unfolds endlessly, and where DJ Ungel sails there as on a sea.

NB01d - Philippe Toussaint / DJ Ungel - Al Kawthar EP

From the vault of Studio Presqu'île's sleepless nights comes a bangin' of a two-header in the form of 'Hitherto', Brittany Dubson's debut on Chambre Noire.

The brainchild of former DJ and rave organizer Philippe Gratton, Brittany Dubson was conceived with no fixed intention in mind but the one to exorcise his creator from the limitations of functional dance music by way of spontaneous collaborations and freeform studio experimentations.

CN005 - Brittany Dubson - Hitherto EP (7")

Final track in the running order is a deep and dubby downtempo dancehall track. Originally produced in the 90s, but recently finished by Phil, ‘Blossom Street Dub’ has an added synth line and an iconic King Tubby filter which help to enhance a time-warping, headrush effect. This track, alongside the ‘Hot Number (Alternative Version)’ B1 tune, will both be pressed for the very first time on vinyl, having been absent from the original ’91 test pressing.

Starship Heart Of Gold | Preview

where lava turns into new land
ridges collapse, and bottomless crevasses breathe
light moves weightlessly from aphotic blacks to the purest blues
sinking deeper and deeper into the disintegration of time
pulling you into a wordless state

Paris' dub luminary Alan Briand hits the Chambre Noire imprint with a face-melting trip into the abyss - an artifact that would creep in just as easily in some obscure research lab than your favourite listening bar.

It's music for the deep sea dwellers.
Scientists dig it, diggers too.

CN006 - Shelter - Breathing / Wonderz (10")

Future Chroma is an ambient duo of Stiletti-Ana and Casio G Url. They both have been playing music since they were kids and they both have always liked to create their own music instead of playing what others have composed. The duo met in 2018 when Casio G Url needed to buy a new synthesizer and couldn't decide which model to get. She came over to Stiletti-Ana's studio to try out a bunch of different synths to help her hard decision. That night they had a long jam and realized that they share a similar mind in music. The tape recorder was wired in and they recorded the basis of their first EP that was released in 2019 on Haista records.

Instead of hiding themselves and their music behind some mystic otherworldly figures, Stiletti-Ana and Casio G Url are just purely enthusiastic about playing their synthesizers and instruments and making music that they like. It's a cliché when a musician says that there was no producer or music industry head telling what to do, but honestly that never even came into Stiletti-Ana's or Casio G Url's mind that there could be someone telling them what to do to succeed. Future Chroma is doing only what they like and what they like the most are heavenly arpeggios, lovely melodies and super cosmic sounds.

In late 2019 Future Chroma packed their Nissan Micra full of equipment and drove to their secret hideout studio in the middle of Southern Finland forests. They had another really long jam and they recorded everything. Out of those sessions came the basis of their debut album called I. Finalizing a timeless piece of synthesizer music took longer than they expected and now finally 15.5.2023 the album sees the daylight. Their main influences on the record are Berlin School ambient and records made by pioneers of cosmic and electronic music such as Tangerine Dream, Suzanne Ciani, Pauline Oliveros and Laurie Spiegel just to name a few. But their debut doesn't sound like anything out there, because it's Future Chroma's music and it's really good!

Ian Elms’s cult isolationist synth masterpiece Good Night returns via Dark Entries. Originally released in 1982, Good Night blends Berlin school minimalism and BBC Radiophonic weirdness with the aesthetics of then-nascent DIY punk electronics throughout its fifteen short tracks. According to Elms, these pieces were composed in two broad but interrelated modes: pieces with voice and synthesizer, which are obliquely narrative, and instrumental synthesizer pieces that aspire to capture fleeting emotions. Ian met with producer David Hoser at Octopus Studios and they began constructing pieces using a Polymoog Keyboard 280a, sampled drum tracks, and Elms’s synthesizer. On “The Street Enters the House”, live drums lurch along with skeletal motifs while Elms’s elliptical lyrics evoke domestic discontent. “A Light Moves Across Curtains” features metronomic pummeling and icy strings buttressing the scant cryptic lines from Elms. Instrumental gems like “Goodnight” and “Surrounded by Trees” are built around detuned riffs in round-like structure, both drifting and static like the motion of waves. With original pressings fetching three digits – if you can even find a copy – this reissue is essential listening for fans of John Bender, Transparent Illusion, and the early 80’s DIY cassette scene. Each copy of Good Night comes with a postcard featuring a photograph and notes by Elms. “This record is intended for anyone who by accident or design spends most of their time alone (whether in the body or in the mind).” – Ian Elms.

Butler & Forests. 
Squirrels On Film is delighted & honored to unleash this collection of angular cybergoth soundscapes that showcase Nihar's acuity as an artist.
